<K6-2 at 475 MHz. PII at 450 MHz. Read it and weep.> Pretty funny, considering that you were accusing Intel-a-bees of grasping at straws. AMD hasn't even announced a K6-2 475, and you guys are leaping with joy because a vendor is jumping the gun on AMD's future plans. And comparing the K6-2 to the Pentium II when you know that Intel isn't advancing the Pentium II anymore is also another example of grasping at a straw. Maybe you ought to say, "K6-2 at 475 MHz. Celeron at 433 MHz. Read it and weep." By the way, which one can I purchase today? Tenchusatsu

Scumbria, It seems like a pretty safe bet that it must be coming along very well, given that AMD has demonstrated a 600 MHz K7 in public and announced that the K7 is in production. What did they run against it? I forget. In production with AMD wouldn't exactly bring on warm fuzzies to a stockholder, would it, considering their execution on prior MPUs? K6-2 at 475 MHz. PII at 450 MHz. Read it and weep. You're not paying attention. I said, as did Tench, that Intel is not embellishing the PII any more. The PIII will be at 550 MHz pdq, you know, and without any tricks. Tony
